Did I make a mistake by typing "emerge gentoo-kernel" and not typing "emerge gentoo-kernel-bin" on my old Ax2 7850 BE 6Gb of RAM? Without any #distCC server of sort? Probably. It's been almost 5h now. #Gentoo

To speed up software upgrades on my dated #gentoo :gentoo: laptop, I finally installed #distcc (distributed C/C++ compilation) on a more powerful machine in the network (was easy with Docker).

I'm impressed how much big this difference this makes. Much quicker than expected, I can actually use the laptop during updating, _and_ I don't get random compilation errors due to hardware overheating.

Currently doing a world rebuild without #distcc and/or #ccache. I'm gonna die waiting. :blobcatsadreach:

#NixOS :nixos:

As I'll be rebuilding the world set a bunch of times I might just set up #distcc on my beefy laptop.

GCC, the kernel and chromium are going to take ages to build.

maybe #distcc and a compiler on a faster box can help a lot.
that wouldn't be full cross-compiling stress because ./configure, make and friends would run locally and only compiling would be distributed.

laaater!
